A couple of notes when using newer AC/Unity versions:

[reggieisnotadog]

Last used AC about six years ago, thought I'd refresh myself before a new project. It's really come a long way! Well done Chris.

This by far the best tutorial video, clear voice records, perfect description with everything that goes with it, Good job there, thank you Chris.

great, AC should have a discord community or a dark theme in forum website

[enescingil]

One of the greatest tutorial videos I ever saw. Thanks for this amazing content!

Thank you for the nice tutorial! I'm having a problem: after TinPot slams the the book on the panel, the laser turnoff animation doesn't play. From the timeline I can see that both the first and the second animation tracks are binded to the player (while the second one should remain binded to the laser gun). Aftet the timeline ends, the book is still in the inventory. Can you help me?

When I create three empty animation slots in Blend Tree and try to drag and drop the three corresponding animations Idle, Walk and Run there according to the tutorial (14:16), nothing happens. The slot shows that you can add by dragging, but after dragging it continues to show None and nothing is added accordingly:( The same thing happens if you do not drag and click on the small + right of the slot and select from the list of animations manually. Nothing in the end is NOT added!:( What could be the problem? The impression that specifically Tin Pot animation Unity does not see! Because everything else he normally adds and shows the Preview window, but here he even in the Preview does not see anything! Tutorial files were imported correctly. Everything worked fine until this stage!

Hi so I'm up to the npc conversations section. I've completed all steps and double checked my work. Nothing happens when O hover over where Brain's hotspot should be. The only difference that I found in the process was that in the character wizard there is no mechanim option. I choose character controller or rigid body. Rigid body is the only option that creates a hotspot and collider. Any idea what I'm missing?

I'm following along and doing well except the Player steering is way off it seems. I just goes in circles and isn't intuitive. Using defaults for Movement. Any ideas what's up?

Something strange: When I import the Evil Lair into Unity 2021.3.29f, *all the directional spotlights are twice too powerful* (giving a burnt aspect to the scene). I need to divide their intensity by two. What happened with those resources?

*Make a video tutorial, with a mobile controller. I tried to use the mobile controller built into the asset, but it does not work stably.*

Quick question. I bought AC and am developing an AR app. Would I be able to us AC to build a prefab within the project and not effect the functionality of the AR components of the app?

[许圈圈-gu]

Thank you Chris! This is an amazing tutorial. I would like to know how to make a NPC move along a path? Also, can I have a bark when the NPC moves?

does unity 2022 LTS works good with AC?

Hi. Good job.
I have a question. I made a game by adventure creator but when I tried to build the project I got an error:
“Movie texture is obsolete. Use video player instead”

Can you help me with this error? I put a lot of effort for my game
😔

Has the Adventure Creator extension package been discontinued? It's for integrating with Naninovel, but the link seems to be broken.
